Turin, Italy
"EUROPE'S LEADING CAR"
We have just received the latest Fint Post War models
from Turin, Italy. They are the small models, generally
known as the "Baby Fiat" really remarkable cars,
yielding 26 to 30 miles on a gallon. The cylinder box is
smaller than on any American-made car.
With a 103" wheel base, it lias a turning radius that
permits the easiest handling in crowded downtown traf
fic. Yet the three body styles, Roadster, Touring and
Sedan, are all exceptionally roomy and comfortable.
The Pednn, especially, is a marvel of compactness and
completeness seating five. The cars and bodies are
built and finished in Italy. The price is easily within the
scope of the average buyer.
